While laptops are excellent for moving between meeting rooms, they are otherwise uncomfortable due to the poor positions of their keyboards and excess heat. The Asus MiniPC PN62 is a small but powerful productivity machine that the boss might even pay for. Just plug it into a wall socket and add an external monitor.

The presence of a 10th Gen Intel processor and solid-state drive (SSD) means the MiniPC PN62 performs very well for productivity tasks. The MiniPC PN62 offers a full plethora of ports that includes multiple USB 3.1 ports, gigabit LAN, an optional Thunderbolt 3 port, as well as built-in Wi-fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 with no visible antennas. RAM can go up to 64GB and there is even space to add a 2.5-inch storage drive for additional storage capacity.

While the MiniPC PN62 is typically whisper quiet, the high-pitched whine of the CPU fan means it can get audible when under heavy load. Toggling “Max Power Saving” mode from the Asus Business Manager app keeps it so quiet you forget it’s there.
